Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

I was really excited to try this place after the great reviews from celiacs. It was concerning though, as soon as we got there. I explained my celiac disease to our (very young) waiter who had no idea what gluten is. I asked him to get the manager - she came over and said, oh, don’t worry - we can leave the sesame seeds off of everything. I had to explain that sesame seeds are not gluten. It’s wheat, rye and barley. Should have left then but she assured me almost everything was GF and they would be careful.

First time I’ve gotten CC at a restaurant this year. Sick all night, you know the drill. Needless to say, I will not be going back and recommend you proceed with caution here.

The food is DELICIOUS every time! I have pretty severe celiac, and I didn’t get any reaction. You cook your own entrees on the table’s grill, but they are cleaned thoroughly in between uses. The menu is very clearly marked for what is and isn’t gluten free, and the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful with allergies. Most of their menu is gluten free, but if someone you’re with orders a gluten-containing food item, just be sure to cook your entree before they do and you’ll be fine! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

Great experience here. Must make reservation. The first question staff ask before taking orders is if you have an allergy. They are very knowledgeable of gluten allergy and items on menu will be marked . Usually I go to bbq spots and can only order meat plain, because majority of the sauces contain wheat. But this restaurant’s sauce and marinades are almost all gluten free. So it was nice to try different marinades instead of just salt and pepper. A side note- the grilling tables I saw and sat at could hold about 4 people, but had a relatively small grill in the center. It’s perfect for 2 people but anymore and you won’t be able to cook fast enough for everyone. Especially if you opted for the all you can eat, there’s a 90 minute time limit. Overall great staff, flavors and good quality meat. An AMAZING spot for gluten free people.

One of my favourite spots! All of their sauces and marinades (apart from the teriyaki marinade) are gluten free and their menu is very clearly labelled. I let them know I have celiac and they took good care of me. I ordered the prime kalbi short rib, premium sirloin, scallops, broccoli, and plain rice. Love this spot and highly recommend. Definitely always let them know about your allergies/celiac so they can avoid cross contamination.
